Dental Composite Armatarium

Anesthetic: lower 27 gauge long (yellow tip) with 2 carps of 4% articaine (Septocaine) for block, upper or lower infiltration 30 gauge short (blue tip) with 1 carp 4% articaine (Septocaine). Always use the color of tip instead of having to say the word long needle in front of the patient. Also we never say “shot”, we say injection.
